Step 10 Power Up

Replace the computer cover and reconnect the AC power
cords. Turn power on to the host computer. Set up the
power supplies so that the SCSI devices are powered up at
the same time as or before the host computer. If the
computer is powered up before a SCSI device, the device
might not be recognized.

During boot, the ADAC Ultra2 S466 BIOS message
appears:

ADAC Ultra2 S466 Disk Array Adapter BIOS Version x

.xx date

Firmware Initializing... [ Scanning SCSI Device

...(etc.)...

]

The firmware takes several seconds to initialize. During
this time the adapter will scan the SCSI channel. When
ready, the following appears:

Host Adapter-1 Firmware Version

x.xx DRAM Size 4 MB

0 Logical Drives found on the Host Adapter
0 Logical Drives handled by BIOS
Press to run ADAC Ultra2 S466 BIOS Configuration Utility

The utility prompt times out after several
seconds. The ADAC Ultra2 S466 host adapter (controller)
number, firmware version, and cache DRAM size are
displayed in the second portion of the BIOS message. The
numbering of the controllers follows the PCI slot scanning
order used by the host motherboard.
